Filed on 1/21 using FreeTaxUSA. Not yet accepted.

If you also filed on 1/21, put in your progress and let’s discuss.

[Vijay]

I also use FreeTaxUSA. I filed my return today. Let’s see when it get’s accepted.

[jemar707]

No it won’t. It’s just automatically taken by The Department of Treasury

[Peanut]

No it won’t delay it

[MamaMel]

If I have an offset thats going to come out of my refund, does that delay my refund being sent?

[KD]

My ex husband filed on 1/18 and it was accepted on 1/19. He is a non-pather, only gets the CTC, not EITC or ACTC. He had to verify last year, that delayed him about until I got my refund as a pather. Fingers crossed his goes easily this year!

[IGMR Admin]

We think we might see deposits before opening in some case when in a test batch.

This is our refund cycle chart that predict how it will go down this year.

https://igotmyrefund.com/irs-e-file-refund-cycle-chart/

[IGMR Admin]

Yes that means you are in a test batch. But if claimed EITC or ACTC refund is subject to the Path Act and will be held until after 2/16.

President’ss Day will play a role with PATH this year.

If it works like other years:

Thursday 2/15 PATH “expires” but we won’t see anything change on transcripts or WMR.

Friday 2/16 transcripts will update with Code 846 Refund Issued for Thursday 2/22.

Saturday 2/17 WMR will update with Direct Deposit Date for Thursday 2/22.

*There are cases where some people may get a direct deposit earlier than 2/22. In the cases where someone meets all of these conditions 1) Paid Fees Up Front 2) Did NOT take a refund advance and 3) uses a NHB (no hold bank), a direct deposit could post to their account 1-4 days earlier.

In these cases we anticipate the first date actual money could post is Friday 2/16 in the early afternoon.

 

[IGMR Admin]

No it does not have that in the language of bill. Here is more information, it’s primarily an adjustment of the refundable portion, the amount of credit is not changing.

https://igotmyrefund.com/child-tax-credit-changes/

It just made it out of committee and went to House Floor on Friday. So it hasn’t passed yet. We will update that article as things progress and more information becomes available

[WhiteWolf]

Fellow Pather here…CTC, EITC. Filed 1/18 w/FreeTax, no accepted msg yet. Maybe on 1/29? No advance or fees. Cycle code 05, so I wait for Friday after 2/15….

[Nicrenee2628]

I filed with Freetax USA on 1/16. Accepted on 1/18..I do not have the situation that puts me on the path journey. I have CTC though.
My WMR updated Friday with 1 bar.

[Pizzaman420]

I filed 1/15 got accepted 1/19 through TT does that mean I was a test batch and if so will I get my refund before the normal feb17 it says estimated feb 9 online

[Amanda]

Following…..

[Riss]

Okay, so forgive me for my slowness lol, but. With the proposed new child tax credit for 2023. Does it mean that we will get an extra 1800 on our refund? Or how does it exactly work?

[WhiteWolf]

I’ve been using FreeTaxUSA for years. I’m a Pather, and always file before the season opens. Every year my return is accepted before opening day, then I wait until mid-Feb. This year I filed 1/18, and received msg stating it wouldn’t be accepted til 1/29. Are they holding them? Anyone else?

[Bjazi023]

Still waiting on mine

[Semaj]

I’m a non pather filed and accepted 1/17. Anyone else? I’m thinking first DDD will be 2/1 or 1/31?

[Rachael]

I filed on 1/18 with HRB (I use them every year) and so far I’m not accepted yet. I’m still getting the error, we don’t recognize you message on WMR, hoping to get into the test batch next week. I’m a weekly too so I would love it if I could see an update next Saturday that my refund was approved a DDD of 1/31 but I doubt that will happen at this point.

[KC]

Filed 1/19 Patiently waiting!!!

Yes, there have been many that filed early and have been accepted by the IRS for their test batches. This is year seems more than usual too.

I got the same qualification amount, so that’s what made me think if it was even worth it but I guess it couldn’t hurt. Maybe I’ll get $1500 as well.

From what I heard and been told DD should start Wednesday for batch testers. Little birdy told me this 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Tony]

I’ve been accepted in the last 3 years early. However, I file my own taxes and don’t pay fee for professionals Or ever get advanced. Just want to give you guys some insight on my experiences. Last year I got my DD on the 25th.

@Tony you’re one of few I’ve seen. Maybe they just don’t hang out with us. lol

[Lauren]

Yeah I’m seeing mostly Turbo Tax. Usually you see the usuals JH, H&R(ect)hopefully it’s not a glitch with their software. Just kind of unusual.We shall see next week maybe a lot people are waiting.

[Tony]

I filed like 2 weeks ago and got accepted with H&R Block Wednesday.

[Neek]

Pather, filed 1/13 accepted 1/19
CTC EIC ACTC used TaxAct, no advance. I see an update every year Feb. 26.

[jemar707]

I haven’t seen a lot of HRB fillers either. Alot of people were inquiring about the HRB advance.

[jemar707]

They accept on weekends during regular filing season when it officially opens on 1/29. But during test batches, we haven’t seen any today. We think the testing will start again on Monday.

This is my second year doing it the amount was spot on what I was pre-approved for both years. The only drawback is the first year I did it I had to wait for the card to come in to access the money I do believe there is a way to transfer it off the credit karma card before you get it but I just waited
Hope this helps

[2013taxpayer]

This question is for those who have e-filed and have been accepted by IRS already with TurboTax Refund Advance. When you received your deposit in your CK card, did the amount match your pre-qualification amount? If it wasn’t, the amount received was more or less? And is this your first or second time doing the refund advance?

Thank you!

Just trying to figure out if it’s worth doing it for me because my pre-qualified amount is small but I’ve seen people say where they got more than what they pre-qualified for when filing. Also, is it true that you will get more if you have a completed W2? It doesn’t make sense to me because if the info matches with your last paystub…what’s the difference? Does their system know your job has completed their W2s?

Any feedback or help is appreciated! Thank you again!

[Lauren]

Simple return ctc only..not seeing a lot of H&R filers make it into the test batch yet.

I filed about 4pm CST 1/19. Not accepted yet per TaxAct still waiting acceptance. Does anyone know if updates about being accepted are made on weekends?

[Refundmama93]

Okay Okay I know it’s early but I filed turbo tax with advance and fees coming out of refund and going on credit karma card. Filed 1/16 git accepted today 1/19 advance hit 10 minutes later! Now just a waiting game til Feb 17th update usually see my refund between 18th-25th every year! Who’s ready to count down with me!

[LolaR]

I just checked my TT and it says submitted 1/22 as well. It did say 1/18. I don’t know why it’s doing that.

[RazorLeaf]

TurboTax, PATHer, CTC, EIC

Submitted 1/10
Accepted 1/19

My turbotax also has the weird effect of changing the submitted date to the 22nd, it was definitely correct before acceptance.

Is tax topic 152 bad on wmr? Mine was accepted and processing. No eic or actc.

[Neek]

We can get accepted into the test batch, but we won’t get the refund until PATH lifts.
Filed 01/13 and accepted today 01/19, with Taxact, ACTC, EIC, CTC.
Per Taxact: As part of controlled IRS testing, a small number of federal returns will be transmitted to the IRS beginning on 01/17/2024. This is before processing officially begins on 01/23/2024. If you receive an acknowledgement during this timeframe, your return has been accepted by the IRS but your refund will not be processed early.

[LolaR]

@mamabear39

I’m confused on your dates. You filed 1/18 and it says accepted 1/22 or refund approved 1/22?

[Bsmith21]

I filed on 1/17 through TT and accepted with one bar on WMR on 1/18

[photodude416]

Filed late last night but it was 1/19/24 when I submitted it.
It was accepted today 1/19/24 about an hour ago and already shows one bar.

[Neek]

Filed 01/13 and accepted today 01/19, with Taxact, ACTC, EIC, CTC.

[Brandi]

So filed 1/9, got accepted today. Says ACTC doesn’t get issued until late Feb, so we will see.

[Tex]

IRS accepted my return as of 2:02 PM!

[Kgwinn]

Filed 1/18 through FreeTaxUSA, accepted 1/19. Showing one bar on IRS site.

[LolaR]

Update

Tax return accepted 20 minutes ago. WMR now shows”Return Received”.

I really really did not want to be apart of the test batch, they seem to be resequenced a lot. Fingers crossed we all won’t have to wait too long this year!

[Blav]

I filed on 1/4 and I just received a email from TurboTax that my federal return was accepted. Does this mean I’m part of the test batch?

[Mel]

Return rejected 2 times!
My 2 dependants missing PINs? They never had a PIN before. So frustrating.

(Tax Act)

[Amanda]

@igmr-admin are test batches done for the day or still possible ? Possible for a pather? Thanks

[Amanda]

What is the significance of the 01/22 date in TT ? Does it mean they will ‘file us’ on that day or does it have more significance? Im wondering because I did NOT ask for advance and I paid fees up front. Is this anyone else’s situation with a 01/22 date on TT??? Do you know what it means? Thanks

[Amanda]

So im thinking information doesn’t match means you haven’t been recognized by the IRS for this tax year. I filed TT 01/18 paid fees upfront did not apply for advance (got burned last year) and here I am PATHer again wishing I got picked for test batch! Thought I would because it already has a 01/22 date listed in TT and the second date is the date I filed. Whats with the 01/22? Anyone know? Nice to be back 5 years here…. The waiting is the hardest part.

[Amanda]

Are there more test batches from TT ? Asking for the 01/22 ppl?

[Tyler]

Do they accept during certain hours? Only M-F? Do they accept on weekends? Just curious.

[LolaR]

@igmr_admin

Yea I knew mine would be delayed due to the PATH act, I just didn’t know the dates.

I’ve never had it not be accepted days after filing, it’s usually within minutes after.

[Steve]

What hours do they usually do the accepting into test batches?

File date 1/16
Accepted 1/16
Approved 1/16

Got the wait for deposit to hit your bank in 10 days if direct deposit selected message

[IGMR Admin]

@LolaR

If it says information does may match, it hasn’t been accepted yet.

ACTC is subject to PATH Act where your return can be accepted and processed. But a refund will be held until after 2/16.

You can use our refund cycle chart to get an idea when updates will happen to refunds subject to PATH Act.

[Amber]

Filed today, TT with fees and advance, not accepted as of yet.

[Dmack]

The IRS site states that they wont accept until January 29. So if you get accepted before that, you may be a test batch, or be in the first batch starting on the 29th. I filed yesterday 1/18, im still pending. Im not holding my breath to be accepted beforenthe 29th, but also wouldnt be suprised if it showed accepted on any day before then.

[LolaR]

Not accepted, it only says pending. WMR says “information does not match our records”.

[DON]

I also have issues. I filed last week and mine says submitted 1/22. I called my State and they said they haven’t even received my taxes. Why wouldn’t TT submit them?
